DFID’s new publication “Degrees of Separation” tells the story of how climate change and tackling poverty are so closely linked, and how DFID and the development community are taking action to ensure that development can become a big part of the solution. The booklet also highlights the role individuals can play to bring about positive change.
Written in an accessible style, the booklet covers the impacts of climate change on development told through the perspectives of 3 narrators based on real people – John, Yasmin and Sarah from Kenya, Bangladesh and the UK. Although living in different continents and many thousands of miles apart, their stories show how closely connected they are and how they are turning the challenges posed by climate change into real opportunities in their daily lives.
